Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham sought consultancy services for Portfolio Programme and Project Management under a procurement process managed by a limited selection method. This tender, identified as "BUS 14", aimed to deliver cloud support for setting up and maintaining cloud software or hosting services within the IT services category broadly classified under CPV code 72000000. Although the tender Lot 1 was initially cancelled, it was eventually awarded to Pragmatics 3D, a supplier based in Lincoln. The contract, valued at £49,500 GBP, entered the active stage with the signing completed on 12th February 2026. The procurement specifically targeted services within the UKC1 region, and the contract was awarded without public call for competition due to specific procurement rationale.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within IT consulting, cloud software, and hosting services. Companies possessing expertise in cloud solutions, especially those adept at providing scalable cloud support services, stand to benefit from such contracts. Pragmatics 3D, classified as an SME, exemplifies the suitability of small to medium-sized enterprises in competing for similar opportunities. The focus on project management consultancy within the governmental domain suggests that enterprises with strong portfolios in public sector IT solutions and project management could find ample business prospects through these channels.
